It was great to see Noel at the front door the other day. When Noel was younger she would lie for hours by the front door. It was her domain (see the picture below from 2012). She rarely goes down the long staircase anymore to watch the world go by so when she does it is a very special occasion.
I was out to do something the other day and when I returned she was waiting for me. I must have had the dogs with me or she would not have been down there. The dogs usually hog the glass door and she won’t push her way through them. Sometimes it is nice when the cats get to rule!

Did I tell you that 2 of my grand cats, Hazel Bear and Freddie Purrcury, now have their own Instagram and Facebook sites? I am biased of course, but I do think they are just some of the most fun kitties to watch. My bonus daughter, K8, is a graphic designer and does the most creative little videos with her 2 loves.
Give them a LIKE and tell them Gramcat sent you.

Mini Cooper has always loved FishTV. She watches the fish tanks for hours. When she discovered that there was a little slit in the top of the kitchen tank, she decided it would be a good time to take a taste. As you can see if you look closely the fish are not phased by her at all. They must be so used to her presence at this point it is just another day at the FISHDaz zoo.
No fish were harmed in the making of this video.
What kind of mischief did you get into today?

The beauty of having feline dementia is that Noel rediscovers things she used to love. If you remember a month or so ago she rediscovered my office down the hall. She had not been in there for years. Now she rediscovered the cat tree. Even though the tree has been in the dining room in front of her eyes all this time, I have not seen her go on it for a very long time. The beauty of rediscovery with a forgetful brain.

I cannot imagine a life without cats!

Mini: Should I bother Noel?
Why is she on MY blanket?
Why is she sleeping so close?
Mini: Maybe not. I am kind of sleepy.

You might not understand this situation, because you don’t live here, but this is one of the strangest pairings at the top of the steps that you will ever see. Noel is not a cat that sits with the other animals. Well, maybe she will sit with Mini Cooper in the herb window or on the kitchen table if it happens by accident. But sitting with a dog – that is out of the question! Well, until now.
I am sure that they both were wanting something from me, probably food, and it just happened spontaneously. What an odd couple these 2 make – I just love their expressions.
